Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used the word "require". Your example does work. It is some derivation of what can be found at http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:weak_maps&s=weakmap#explicit_soft_own_fields I get that neither "has" nor "delete" are required, as proves the above link and your example. Still, I'm confident that the engine would be a better place to handle it and my point was that there are some use cases that may do "heavy" usage of a ".has" method on weak maps which in my opinion is an argument in favor of adding "has" in the WeakMap API. It turns out, it seems to already be the plan as wrote Mark Miller in a previous e-mail. The wiki just cannot be updated yet, before consensus is reached during a TC-39 meeting.
